Albedo, Thanks for the reply and info on MCP. I will look into that. With cancer, you have to hit it with different angles. I've read about the cells ability to clump or stick to other cells, preventing this may help. Regarding Chemo: The doctors feel my mom isn't strong enough for radiation or chemo. Both her primary care and oncologist agree they are nothing short of poisons. You risk increasing life shortly for a poor quality of life, so one has to consider if it is really worth it in the long run.

Once again Dye, thanks for the book reference again. I will look into it.

I took my mom to her primary care doctor. Myself and doc feel strongly that immunotherapy holds the most promise in cancer cure, and together we are going to see if there are any clinical trials. The kind that I described before.

The issue with qualifying for a trial is the health status of the patient. They have to be strong enough or in fairly good shape to participate, and many are very strict. They don't want to harm the patient in normal routine. My mom is very fatigued, so qualifying might be hard.

One other point I wanted to mention. Over the years, I've seen so many supplement companies coming up with new products for the immune system. I would always wonder what the big fuss is, and why such a big deal about the immune system. You get a cold, you get over it. big deal. I'm learning more and more how important it is to maintain a healthy immune system not only during times of illness but during times when we have no symptoms. Our immune system holds the key to our survival and its importance can not be overstated.

"Increasing vitamin D levels is known to wake up cells and trigger an immune response whenever infection or inflammation is present."

Part of my mom's care is that I make sure she is in the sun at least once a day for no less than 15 min. When done, she always says how wonderful the sun felt. Sunshine is even more critical when the body is diseased. Part of her blood work (phlebotomy this week) is to test for vitamin D.

Dear Tom, So very sorry to learn of your mother`s cancer. I am not sure if you are aware of Dr. Denham Harman`s early research regarding the use of BHT [ butylated hydroxytoluene ] as a treatment for radiation damage and the amazing results achieved with extending the average lifespan of cancer prone mice or not. With cancer prone strains of mice the average lifespan of these mice was increased by between 45% and 50%. That does seem worth considering.
